Someone please help, I am 24 I just got out of the army recently and have moderate to severe degenerative disc disease, I currently don't have a vehicle so I am looking for help finding a few doctors in Colorado springs that are willing to prescribe oxycodone 30mg I AM NOT A DRUG SEEKER but that is wot has worked for me in the past. Since I have been out of the army I have been smoking marijuana for my pain and it helps a lot but I can find a job that will accept that as a legitimate prescription so I am wanting to get back on strong meds that allow me to do physical work, which I am currently unable to do. I just need a doctor that is willing to look at my records and see how serious I am and not be afraid to prescribe much needed pain medication

Awesome u guys have been a big help, my issue now is finding ones that accept Tricare, does anyone know a good site to find which doctors accept tricare, and yes I am mostly trying to find a pain management specialist

Due to some recent crackdowns and some changes being made, that will likely be your best bet to get the help you need.

Due to improper and over prescribing from doctors that aren't specially trained to treat pain, the DEA and FDA are trying to transition people away from receiving such medications from general practitioners or surgeons for long-term treatment.

And due to some new regulations making them do much stricter account for each prescription they right, most won't take on new patients that need such medications.

And a piece of advice I can give you that may help is that when you do see a new doctor, don't ask for a specific medication. Let your records speak for themselves. If you ask for it, that's considered drug seeking behavior.

Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not just on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics).

However, In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I went ahead and posted a webpage (linked below) specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results. I think with a pain management specialist you'll have a much better chance of getting the medication you need, without a whole lot of reluctancy on their end: {link removed because site no longer exists}
